>What do you think are nanchatte faux pas?
Cleavage showing is the prime no-no.
>What makes an outfit not nanchatte to you?
Getting a halloween store slutty schoolgirl outfit and trying to pass it as nanchatte.
>How do you judge balance in a coord?
Depends on the body shape really, if you are skinny you'd look better with baggier clothes, if you are curvier, more form-fitting clothes may be best since with baggy clothes you risk looking frumpy.
>Favourite and worst things in the fashion?
Favourite: the whole put-together and serious look. I'm more of a preppy gull.
Worst things: Those mock thigh-highs with cat faces. Shoehorning weird tumblr apparel like galaxy print or skeleton tights.

and...

>What is your favorite style? Are you more kogal or do you fall more along the general preppy route?
Preppy. I'm a tad too old for kogal.
> Leg wear? Do you prefer tights, thigh highs, knee length?
As much as I like OTKs and thigh highs, tights help keep everything more serious.
> What's better: loafers or will any preppy shoe style work for you?
I like low-heeled Mary Janes a lot. Oxfords also go a long way.
> Your skirts: plaid or solid? Cardigan or blazer?
Both kinds of skirt work for me, but I'm more of a cozy cardigan fan.
> Any certain hairstyles you fall on when you're wearing it?
My hair is pretty short, so I wear headbands. I plan on growing it out to rock some ponytails.
> Where do you wear it? Is it your uni. wear, con only, daily...?
I'd like to wear it daily, but only for special occasions. For now.
> And where are your favorite places to shop?
Thrifting is my game.

Also, question: what magazines do you look at to have inspiration, like Popteen?
